How
long does beer keep in a crowler? Quite a while, actually. That assumes you
refrigerate it of course; you’d be crazy not to do so. I bought a crowler of
Boulder Shakeberry at Stout’s Growlers here in Canton on November 16th,
out it in the fridge and drank it on December 11th. That’s almost
a month and, as you can see in my photo, the beer had not lost any
carbonation. It also tasted wonderful.

If
you haven’t heard of Shakeberry, don’t feel badly. I hadn’t either until I
bought it at stouts. It’s not advertised on their website but is, as I’m
sure you’ve guessed by now, a variation of their
Shake Chocolate Porter. I really love that beer so figured I would enjoy
this one, too. I was right.

Untappd says the beer has an alcohol content of 6% by volume. I paid $8 for
a 32-ounce crowler at Stout’s. That’s all I know

Boulder Shakeberry
pours to a jet-black color with a thick creamy tan head and a fresh
strawberry and chocolate nose. Taking a sip, the beer is smooth and creamy
with milk chocolate and bright strawberry fruit. The two meld together
nicely to form the impression of a chocolate covered strawberry, and the
beer finishes dry with grassy hops and toasty malts.

What
a wonderful beer here, folks! The chocolate and strawberry work wonderfully
here, and I found the beer irresistible. As soon as I took a sip, I found
myself going pack for another pull posthaste. Seems to be a rare draft-only
beer. If you happen to see it, consider yourself fortunate (I sure do) and
don’t miss it.

And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
